The digitalization of highly regulated industries requires a combination of technological innovation and in-depth industry expertise. The strategic partnership between Konfuzio and plenum AG brings together two leading companies for digital transformation in financial services and insurance.
As specialized AI software of Helm & Nagel GmbH, Konfuzio offers comprehensive functionalities for intelligent data extraction and analysis. plenum AG complements this technological expertise with over 35 years of experience in management consulting for digital transformation projects in regulated markets. The partnership intensifies the efforts of both companies to offer holistic solutions that are technologically leading, compliant and characterized by industry-specific expertise in their implementation.
"We help our customers to overcome their challenges in a digital world. Konfuzio has proven itself as an integral part of our solution space in practice and supports us and our customers in achieving our goals quickly and pragmatically," says Ulf Wohlers, Executive Director of plenum AG.
"The use of business technology requires a comprehensive understanding of an organization's processes and structures. With plenum AG, we have an experienced partner at our side who understands management consulting from a technological perspective," explains Christopher Helm, Managing Director of Helm & Nagel GmbH.
Combined industry expertise for regulated markets
Financial and insurance companies are facing particular challenges: The pressure to digitize is constantly growing, while at the same time strict regulatory requirements must be met. MaRisk, Solvency II, GDPR, AML (Anti Money Laundering) and DORA define the framework for technological innovations.
This demonstrates the particular value of the partnership: both companies have in-depth expertise in regulated areas and understand the specific requirements for data processing, risk management and compliance documentation.
plenum has proven experience in supporting regulatory projects - from MaRisk and DORA-compliant business and IT processes to Solvency II implementations. Konfuzio complements this by specializing in automated processing of regulatory documents and compliance-compliant extraction of business-critical data.
Common areas of application in practice
A particularly relevant example can be seen in credit decision processes: While plenum supports the strategic realignment from a regulatory perspective, Konfuzio enables the technical implementation through AI-supported analysis of credit documents, automated credit checks and AI-supported risk assessment.
Other common areas of application include:
- Automated damage report processing in the insurance industry with simultaneous process optimization
- KYC processes through integrated compliance consulting and automated document review
- Regulatory reporting via strategic compliance consulting and automated data extraction
- Digital application processing with process-optimized design and AI-supported document analysis
These integrated solutions enable customers to increase operational efficiency while ensuring regulatory security.
"True to the motto 'He who writes, stays', Konfuzio can not only provide support in the above-mentioned areas of application, but also offers the possibility of regulatory documentation."

From data to decisions: AI meets consulting
By combining Konfuzio's advanced AI technology with plenum's strategic consulting expertise, the partnership opens up new opportunities for data-driven management consulting.
Intelligent data processing as a basis for consulting
Konfuzio's AI platform extracts structured data from a wide range of business documents - from contracts to reports to regulatory filings - which serves as the basis for plenum's strategic advice:
- Evidence-based process analyses - Quantification of inefficiencies through automated document evaluation
- Data-based risk assessment - AI-supported analysis of historical loss data or credit defaults as a basis for decision-making
- Compliance monitoring - Continuous monitoring of regulatory requirements through automated document analysis
- Performance benchmarking - Comparative analyses based on extracted key business figures
API integration: maximum degree of automation
A particular potential lies in the seamless integration of Konfuzio's AI technology into existing ERP systems. plenum brings extensive experience in ERP implementation and optimization, while Konfuzio has powerful REST APIs for seamless system integration.
This technological complementarity offers customers concrete advantages:
- Direct data integration - Seamless integration into common ERP systems such as SAP
- End-to-end automation - From document entry to booking in the system
- Scalable solution architecture - Demand-oriented adaptation to growing data volumes
- Real-time data processing - Live integration of document data for up-to-date management information
"Konfuzio's AI transforms documents into actionable knowledge, supporting true end-to-end automation and, together with plenum, creating greater transparency, compliance and competitive advantage."
Steffen Hahn, Partner of plenum AG
Outlook: Joint market development
The strategic partnership focuses on consciously dovetailing the existing expertise of both companies. Clients benefit from a one-stop approach to digital transformation: they receive technological innovation and strategic advice from a single source without having to coordinate complex partnerships themselves. For both partners, this collaboration opens up new market opportunities in the high-growth FinTech and InsurTech segments, where regulatory compliance and technological innovation are equally critical to success.
